87	Tully's Coffee Seattle, Washington Espresso Roast Roast: Dark Review Date: February 2004 Origin: Not disclosed Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Both Willem and Ken found this blend satisfying, though not exciting. Willem: "elegant floral aroma. Overall: smooth and soft with pleasantly lingering aftertaste. Rich caramel notes in milk." (87) Ken: "Complex in a narrow range: smoky, sweet fruit in the aroma, smoky and spicy in the demitasse. Caramelly and sweet though a bit shallow in milk." (86)

Notes: Tully's is a large quality-oriented specialty roasting company and cafe; chain that now appears to be the only large-scale competitor to Starbucks left standing in Seattle. Visit www.tullys.com or call 206-233-2070 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: A pleasantly versatile espresso for those with a Tully's on the way to work or around the corner.
